I think if you reflect on the evolution of the human species over the
past several thousand years, you will realize that it is not man's
intelligence which has advanced but woman's beauty. So Darwinism applied
to the human species would dictate "survival of the more beautiful".
Unfortunately, man's thoughts have focused on justification and ways to
kill his fellow man.
Keep your thoughts beautiful and you too will have a chance to survive.
